Retaining Walls

Stone, Brick, Concrete Retaining Walls. Spruce up your home and property with custom designed stone or brick masonry walls ! Many people use LD Masonry and Concrete services to create gorgeous front yard and backyard designs which include some form of walls. Many times it is to create a courtyard effect or for privacy as in decorative walls. Other times it is more then aesthetics- it is functional, as in retaining walls. LD Masonry and Concrete adheres to strict construction methods to provide structural stability to these types of walls. Not big fans of modular block which have no true masonry structural strength( as in concrete footings along with steel rebar and mortar) these walls tend to move over time- in and out, up and down. Possibly you have witnessed these issues with the use of this material and application in Shopping centers,etc and even large “blow outs”. With true masonry walls , we construct concrete footings along with steel reinforcement, both horizontally and vertically. This is tied into concrete blocks which are laid in mortar. This is where the structural stability comes into play. Then we construct the facade which can be anything from brick to stone to stucco, etc.. Weep holes are installed at the base of the wall/s to allow for water to be released from behind the wall/s. This is true masonry and a product that will stand the test of time.
